Help Restore the Windows - Windows Appeal

Rust Damage

​The Forrabury and Minster PCC and the Minster Community Fellowship have been planning for some time to renew the windows at Minster as a way of dealing with a number of existing structural problems at the church and to prevent further deterioration.

The most pressing issue at the moment is splitting of the stonework around the windows – often the weakest part in any building. After discussions with local leaded glass expert, Arthur Bradley, and in consultation with the Diocesan Advisory Committee it has been concluded that replacement of the windows at Minster is the only realistic option.

The cause of this problem is the ferramenta – the wrought ironwork on the outside of the windows. This is now rusting badly and as wrought iron rusts, it expands by up to seven times! This puts the surrounding stonework under huge pressure and is causing cracking in the granite, particularly on the bottom part of the windows. The problem is made worse by the way the ironwork penetrates the lead soaker at the bottom of each window, allowing water to accumulate.For more information and how to help click here
